Are there not companies that pay for licensing all of these types of decals and sell them wholesale? My neighbor sells small signs at the flea market with all of the NFL teams and different logos. She buys them all from one major supplier that licenses them all. There has to be someone doing this with decals as well. Before you start clubbing me around let me reiterate that I am only condoning the legal re-sale of decals.

Even if the company you are buying them from has a license to sell them, that license does not transfer on TO YOU. YOU don't have the right to profit from those images - because you do not have a license.

The company that I am talking about produces these signs under license and only wholesales them to other stores that retail them. I thought there might be something similar with decals. I know that when folks have come through the flea market shutting people down etc... she has never had a problem.
This is an interesting thread. So if I buy an image with a license that allows me to print that image on a T-shirt intended for resale and I sell a dozen of these items each to three local stores that wants to sell them, they are violating the law? Even though each shirt was produced legally?

Depends on the agency who owns the copyright.
For example - the NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA are HARD CORE. If someone is making a profit from selling their images, then you damn well want their piece of those profits.
Other licensors - who knows. You've got to research it and ask all the right questions.

I called you an idiot because your post made you appear as such.
You said "I sell decals like he does on my website".
If you looked at this website, and then made this statement, followed by your other statements, then you are an idiot.
It would be akin to me saying "I play basketball like an NBA player. The only difference is I'm slow, fat, short, and can't jump or shoot."

Unless the original post had been edited by the time I read it, I thought he made it quite clear he was selling licensed versions.
No need for calling someone an idiot, especially if it's because you can't comprehend what they wrote.

So what you are saying is that you play b-ball like a member of the 09 New Jersey Nets? (5-48)

Circleville Signs = WRONG!!!
There is no transfer of license involved.
It is a pure matter of how the marketplace operates.
Once the licensee sells the licensed product and it enters the stream of commerce neither the licensor nor the original licensee has any more control over the product. That can be much to the chargrin of all parties but that's life and business.

G-artist,
You are, quite simply, terribly wrong. This is similar to the situation a few years back where some old lady was purchasing NFL team t-shirts and then stuffing them, sewing up the arms, neck, and bottom and selling them as pillows. The NFL shut it down FAST.
I'm not going to spend an hour typing out the licensing laws that you are incorrect about - just know this - you are incorrect. You are more than welcome to persist in your incorrectness, but you are incorrect.

Umm....Yeah. Something like that.
